Fantastic news, according to Amazon.co.uk the UK DVD release date for Little Ashes has been brought forward to July 6 2009 instead of the original date of August 24 2009.

This news has absolutely made my day, actually it has made my week. I cannot wait to see Little Ashes. July 6 cannot come quick enough.

Elizabeth Snead from the LA Times blog, The Dish Rag, interviewed, Paul Morrison, the director of Little Ashes, about casting Rob in the film.  I have seen some of the Q&As in this interview previously and undoubtedly, as the US release draws closer, we will probably see many more.  For me though, the best part of the article is the following:

DR: It’s wonderful to see a young actor like this, who despite the fame and the adulation is choosing a path and taking some extremely challenging and provocative roles. Do you think he will continue on that path?

PM: He is serious about acting and I am sure that, yeah, he will want to do roles that challenge him. I can’t tell you how hard he worked on the role of Dali. I was encouraging him to just play the script, but he was for himself hunting down every day bits of film or tape or interviews or a biography of Dali. He worked really hard at it, both intellectually and emotionally. I think that’s in his blood now, I think. I don’t think he’ll be satisfied with playing less than interesting roles.

I’ll ignore the fact that the Dish Rag seems to assume that Rob chose the Dali role post Twilight.  Rob has always said that he doesn’t take on a role merely for the money and that he has to love the script first.  We can only imagine what future roles are in store for us to appreciate his incredible talent (and please no comments about the Screaming Fangirl emerging – I’m just stating fact).  To read the full article click here.

Rob talked to Moviefone in a candid and relaxing interview. They talked about ‘Little Ashes’, how he’s dealing with fame, his new movie ‘Remember Me’ and his current project, ‘New Moon’. I love how they’re starting to pop out now – all these new interviews.  This one is definitely one of my favourite ones at the moment. I wish they have a video of this.

Here are some of my favourite bits:

Kristen Stewart is going to be playing rock icon Joan Jett. Is there a rock icon that you’d like to play?

I’d love to play Van Morrison, but I doubt I would get the part [laughs].

Who would you love to tour with, if you were going to do a tour as a musician?

Rob: I’d quite like to tour with Kings of Leon. I think they’re pretty cool.

If you couldn’t be an actor or a musician, what do you think you would be doing?

I’d quite like to be a political strategist and like a spin doctor. [Laughs] I’d really, really like to do that. I think I will end up doing that at one point.

Our affiliate, Little Ashes Promo Blitz would like to share this with you.  It’s an official message for the UK fans from Paul Morrison (the director), Matthew McNulty and the production team of Little Ashes:

Rob talked to Scott Huver from Fandango about how he deals with fame, shooting New Moon, and many other interesting topics (including writing music – my favourite topic of all!!). In fact, this is the best interview I’ve read in a long while.

Here are some bits from the interview:

Fandango: What was it like attending the Academy Awards for the first time?
Pattinson: I got there and then I’m sitting in the second row. It was unbelievable. I keep thinking that something terrible is going to happen. “Death” is the only thing I’m thinking the whole time. I just used up all my luck so I’m probably going to die at 23 or something.

Fandango: Did you discover that any of the hugely famous stars that were there were actually fans of Twilight, or their kids love the movie?
Pattinson: Robin Wright Penn came up to me. I thought that was kind of amazing after her husband had just won Best Actor. That was very, very surreal.

Fandango: You contributed a couple of songs to the Twilight soundtrack. Are you still pursuing music, and will you be doing more for New Moon?
Pattinson: I’m in talks to do a soundtrack for another movie, composing. I cannot say what it is yet, but I really, really, really want to do. I don’t think I’m going to have anything on New Moon, but never say never.

More from Little Ashes! This time it’s a 2 minutes clip of my favourite part of the soundtrack, thanks to our affiliate, ROBSESSED. The song is called ‘Cadaques Bay’. This makes me want to go to Spain (not just watch the movie). I can’t wait till September!
